A Bronx school bus driver died yesterday from the beating he suffered after he accidentally knocked a side-view mirror from a double-parked car, a spokeswoman for his bus company said.

Juan Delvalle, 65, never regained consciousness after Joey Scott, 30, allegedly punched him twice in the face June 11, said Carolyn Daly, a spokeswoman for the Atlantic Express bus company.

He died peacefully at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx. “The family had been struggling all week with whether or not to take him off life support,” Daly said..

“The swelling and bleeding in the brain were extensive,” Daly said. “He was hooked up to a ventilator and that was the only reason he could breathe. He never regained consciousness. It was a very, very severe injury.”

Delvalle had asked to not be hooked up to artificial life support.

Once his family gathered last night — some from as far as Colorado and Puerto Rico — doctors turned off the life support machines, and he died at 6:19 p.m.

Delvalle, who’d driven for Atlantic Express for eight years, was driving two middle-school students in his yellow bus on Anthony Avenue near Echo Place when he clipped Scott’s illegally-parked Chrysler Sebring.

The passing school bus ripped off the Chrysler’s mirror.

In an extreme display of road-rage, Scott lost it and punched the grandfather twice, police said.

Delvalle fell backward and his head struck the pavement. He was rushed to the hospital and never woke up again.

Delvalle’s family and friends hope the Bronx DA’s charges will charge Scott with homicide, Daly said.

“You don’t lose it over a mirror and you certainly don’t punch a 65-year-old man wearing a uniform who’s got children in his care,” Daly siad.

Scott, who has a long rap sheet, fled the scene. Cops found him at his Tremont apartment, and needed two hours to negotiate his arrest.

Scott remains in custody, unable to post $250,000 cash bond. He has a court date Monday.
